‘QUICK START’ STEPS TO FOLLOW FOR MAKING THE FIRST LOAF OF BREAD

BREAD MAKING IN FOUR EASY STEPS!

FOR MEASURING:	FOR MAKING BREAD:
See-through liquid measuring cup with graduated markings	Water
Set of solid, nesting type measuring cups for dry ingredients	Butter or Margarine
Set of measuring spoons	Bread Flour
Kitchen spoon	Sugar
Table knife	Dry Milk
	Salt
	Active Dry Yeast or Fast Rising/Bread Machine
	Yeast

HOW TO MEASURE: Measuring ingredients the right way with the correct measuring cups and spoons is most important when making bread. See measuring section for more information.

REMEMBER TO: Always measure liquid ingredients in see-through measuring cup with graduated markings. Liquid should just reach marking on cup at “eye-level,” not above or below. For easier measuring, set cup on inside of top kitchen cabinet.

Always use liquid at the correct temperature. One-Hour Bread Express™ requires hotter liquids than the other bread settings. Use thermometer included with machine or other thermometer to measure liquid temperature. See backside of thermometer included with machine for proper use. Always spoon dry ingredients, like bread flour, into solid, nesting type-measuring cups, then level off with table knife.

Never scoop measuring cups into dry ingredients as this will pack down the ingredients, causing the dough to be dry and the loaf to be short.

Always use set of measuring spoons to measure smaller quantities of dry and liquid ingredients, measuring level, not rounded or heaping.
